Bella Italia – Sheffield St Paul’s

1. We came to Bella Italia tonight for a quiet birthday meal. Hollie was our server. She was not just nice to us and helped with allergy selection, but was very kind to the children who were in the restaurant which was very lovely.
   The food was really nice, I would recommend their take on nachos!! We will be back!

2. This is the first time I visit this most wonderful Italian restaurant. At lunch time, I decided to try big prawn spaghetti that was displayed on a board outside the restaurant. Indeed, it was a very delicious and generous dish with big prawns. Indeed, it was delicious and at a very appropriate and reasonable price. In fact, I will visit this italian restaurant again soon with family or friends.

3. Came for a lovely lunch. Declan was such a nice waiter really smiley and friendly. Food was good and atmosphere quite relaxed.

4. Booked as a group of 10 (only 9 came in the end) for a team meal while visiting Sheffield for a weekend competition. Phone booking was a bit weird – pretty sure it’s a robot/AI, so I was unsure if the booking had gone through but received a text confirmation.

   The meal started well with a friendly female waitress. Drink orders were taken promptly and delivered fairly quickly. The restaurant wasn’t packed but busy enough to create a nice atmosphere. Food orders were also taken in good time and starters came out soon after, which everyone seemed to enjoy.

   Things went a bit downhill after that. After a reasonable wait, the mains all came together, but some were lukewarm as they’d obviously been sat while the rest of the meals were prepared. Not a major problem as we were all hungry but not ideal.

   At this point, our waitress seemed to disappear and was replaced by a male waiter. One of our group asked him for some garlic sauce to go with the pizza, but it took so long to come that she’d basically finished eating. We also ordered more drinks which were slow in coming and we had to chase to get all of them. Desserts were a similar story, taking a long time to come and at least one failing to arrive until we chased it.

   Overall it was a nice evening but slightly let down by the service. I was tempted to complain but in the end decided it wasn’t worth it. I’ve given a slightly generous 4* as the food was nice and 3* felt harsh but the service and food temperature could definitely have been better.

5. 5 star food, 5 star service! Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Clean and tidy and the decor was comfy/cosy vibe. Our server Hollie was happy, smiley and professional. Nothing was too much and she was really efficient. Food was delicious and hot, no complaints. Hollie told us if we downloaded the app we would get £10 off! Bonus! Will definitely be returning again
